The News That Matters about the Nuclear Industry

USA used tactical nuclear weapons in Iraq/Afghanistan

just one small group of US Naval vessels dropped here the equivalent of many thousands of Nagasaki bombs…

Did US drop tactical nuclear weapons on Iraq/Afghanistan – You bet!, Cplash, Peter Eyre19 July 2010“….. the US , UK , NATO and Israel have been using WMDs on an almost daily basis since the conflict in the Balkans in the 1990s. In fact it started well before this when the Israelis went to war with Egypt … this was the first time WMDs had been used on mass with weapons purchased from the US and with US technicians acting in an advisory role…..When we look at Iraq, you may find it hard to believe that just one small group of US Naval vessels dropped here the equivalent of many thousands of Nagasaki bombs… add to this the fact that the nano-particles from these weapons have since crossed international borders and contaminated millions of people unrelated to this conflict. Under the Geneva Convention that makes these weapons totally indiscriminate and therefore constitutes being a war crime of gigantic proportions (mass genocide). The consequences of all these actions will soon be revealed in the publication of an extensive War Crimes Complaint (a formal legal document) that has already been lodged in Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia towards the end of last year….It is backed up with convincing evidence and no War Crimes Document has ever been written covering such a broad range of topics………..
Sailors who served on USS Midway during the early stages of the Afghanistan War described in great detail how these weapons would secretly appear on deck unlike all the other weapons which are normally clearly displayed on the flight deck, including the arming of the aircraft etc…………

Here are US Navy launches which do not include air or ground launches and most likely would have been DU or nuke warheads:

[IF they used DU warheads in all these missiles, they would have released the equivalent number of radioactive atoms (atomicity) as would be released by 72,625 Nagasaki bombs. Some of them however had nuclear warheads.]

What source is this article from…? I’m pretty sure that if the U.S. used weapons “the equivalent of millions of Nagasaki bombs” we would have more than thyroid cancer problems and an official “War Crimes” complaint.

If you are still checking this comment thread 5 years on… there are smaller nuclear war heads that have a much smaller yield. Check for yourself here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapon_yield. By comparison the explosion that ripped through Tianjin China was a low ball estimate of 300 tons (reported as 20 tons). Here is where I get my figure from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hcwMwFbJKc . Phil Mason is a Chemist Ph.D and he takes his calculations pretty seriously as he runs a YouTube science/debunking channel. That being said even if he is wrong, the reported o.o2 Kiloton yield is still twice as large as the yield reported on Wikipedia. That being said I am sure you are right… but I am not 100% sure. We do know that Iraqis are experiencing health concerns. Most are being blamed on depleted uranium tank buster rounds. I dunno. There is room for further investigation. A guy can be quite dubious.
